CCC Foundation Joins Prop 4 Climate Bond Coalition

The California Conservations Corps Foundation announced today that it has joined

dozens of environmental groups in supporting Proposition 4 on California’s November

ballot.

Proposition 4 is a comprehensive $10 billion climate bond measure to fund a wide array

of environmental projects, including clean energy, flood protection, fire

suppression/forest health, habitat restoration, sea rise mitigation, and water

infrastructure. In addition, Proposition 4 will provide funds to expand and renovate

state and local parks and help communities and farmers deal with the effects of climate

change.

A portion of Prop. 4 funding will be earmarked for the California Conservation Corps and

local conservation corps throughout the state to provide the manpower for much of the

environmental work. Since its inception in 1976, dedicated corpsmembers of the CCC

have spent tens of millions of hours protecting the state’s natural resources by planting

millions of trees, maintaining trails and improving streams and fish habitat. They

respond to fires, floods, oil spills, earthquakes and other emergencies.

“At the CCC Foundation, our goal is to advance the training, leadership development,

personal growth and career opportunities for the young men and women of the CCC,

while protecting and enhancing California’s natural resources,” said Dan Savage, board

president. “Proposition 4 checks all the boxes. Dealing with the effects of climate

change is imperative, and the CCC stands ready to do its part.”


The Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit public benefit organization that supports the

CCC’s mission and programs through philanthropy. In addition to its endorsement, the

foundation has contributed $15,000 to the Prop. 4 campaign.
